THE ULTIMATE COMEBACK CHAPTER 1: FAREWELL IN THE RAIN
(2006)The rain poured down continuously. It was the type of rain that didn't come with the wind or thunder. It was gentle but non-stop. A way to make the funeral memorable; is Helen Maria Stone's funeral. Some would say the sky was also mourning the loss of a beloved soul. Beautiful cars, polished to a shine, lined the Streets of Colonia San Rafael leading to the cemetery, proof of the wealth and stature of the Stone family. The mourners dressed in black attire, huddled under black umbrellas, with white handkerchiefs used to wipe their tear-stained faces.Amidst the gentle patter of raindrops, the mourning congregation arrived at the cemetery: the prestigious Pantéon Francés, a place where the wealthy and influential laid their loved ones to rest. Here, within the neatly trimmed gardens of Pantéon, the final chapter of Helen Maria Stone's life would be written.Richard Stone stepped forward to the front of the gathered congregation, a hush fell over the assembly, his height made it e

(2018)There is a certain sweetness to solitude. Yes, that sounds depressing and absurd but I still stand by it. For some, solitude is a time of reflection, a chance to explore their thoughts and worry about things they can't change, sad. However, for me, alone time is a chance to clear my mind and reset. It's an opportunity to let go of everything. When I'm alone, I'm able to find a sense of stability and calmness that is hard to come by in the company of others. There's this power in being alone, and for me, this power manifests most palpably during the sacred ritual of dining alone. However, today that power wouldn't be manifesting as my father decided to eat with me on our grand table adorned with over twenty seats. Though my father had said nothing yet, the room was quiet, save for the gentle scraping of cutlery against plates and the quiet footsteps of the servants serving us. Even the air seemed still as if the room itself was holding its breath, waiting for something to happe

So on my way to school, I branched to café Alma, a coffee shop just across from my school; Toppings Medical Academy.The aroma of freshly brewed coffee permeates the air as I step into my favorite coffee shop. The familiar sight of Fred behind the counter brings a smile to my lips, his warm greeting a comforting start to my day."Morning, Clara," he says with a friendly grin.

2018 Williams's POVAt a party I hadn't planned to attend, becoming the victim of a wine mishap felt rather unfortunate, I thought. That is, until I caught sight of the culprit behind the spill. I'm not one to be easily smitten, but there was something uniquely captivating about the green-eyed woman before me. Her eyes widened as she exclaimed, “Ooohh myyy God,” which should probably be the longest ‘O my God' I've heard.“I am so sorry, I…” she stammered, quickly dropping the glasses as she frantically started rubbing my shirt with her arms in a failed attempt to clean off the wine. I couldn't help the smirk that tugged at my lips as I watched her expression move from shock to apologetic. Cute . "I really didn't mean to..." she continued, her words trailing off as I gently held her wrist to stop her. She shot me a look of surprise, her dark green eyes meeting mine as I studied her delicate features.“You are only making it worse. It's red wine,” I said.“What?” she questioned“Red w

2018: CLARAMy eyes slowly opened to the bright morning light streaming through the gaps in my curtains, I blinked away the remnants of sleep, only to find my gaze settling on the alarm clock—its glaring red numbers reading 8:00 AM, a full two hours past the intended 6:00 AM wake-up call. I must have slept through it.“Damn it, I overslept," I groaned.I immediately stood up from my bed, only to be met with a throbbing pain in my head and a wave of nausea.“Dang it, hangovers!!''I forgot the after-effects of one too many drinks.

2023In the cold, quiet night, a black BMW XM navigated the dimly lit streets of Cuba. Inside, Williams Stone sat calmly, his gaze fixed on the road ahead. The city's dark glow cast a shadow on half of his chiseled features, giving him an eerie appearance. The car slowed to a stop in front of an abandoned warehouse on the city's outskirts. Williams stepped out, his long black coat swaying slightly in the wind. With his hands in his pocket, he stood for a moment. Almost immediately, three imposing figures emerged from the shadows, their footsteps echoing in the silence of the night."Do you have it?" Williams asked, his voice calm and authoritative.The men nodded, dropping two duffel bags on the floor.“Open it,” Williams commanded calmly. One of the men opened the bags, revealing specially designed capsules that concealed highly sought-after narcotics.Williams was able to establish a drug trade network through his medical connection, which has generated massive profits for the sco

2023In the dimly lit room of a hidden bar within the local tavern, the Double Axe Mob held their usual meeting. The only thing unusual was the reduced number of members."I lost six of my men that night because of those damned Scorpionos," D-Black growled, remembering with regret the night he sent his men against Richard Stone."No matter how many times I think of that night, some things just don't add up," Matteo said, sipping his tequila. "Bill is, by the way, the best driver ever." Do you really think he'd be reckless enough to fall in a ditch?""It's crazy, though, what are you implying?" That someone sabotaged the car?" Sebastian questioned."Think about it," Matteo pressed. "Why wasn't Salvatore in the car with them?""He wasn’t supposed to be," Carlos interjected. "We only wanted Richard Stone.""Exactly," Matteo continued. "It gave him the perfect opportunity to sabotage the car.""We can't be sure of that," Diego countered, puffing a cigarette. "But the whole situation is su

I just miss my little girl who begs me to play rock with her; now look at you wanting to spend time elsewhere.” He said and we both laughed.

"Close to school too so yeah.” "Sounds great," I said, as she shot me a look."Not sure you'll like it though," she warned. “What do you mean?” I asked, curious “Well, it's kind of a bright, cheerful, and sometimes crowded place," she explained, a playful smile curving her lips "So?"

Suddenly, the main doors to the hall opened, and the Elites entered. Everyone gave way for them, knowing their place in the social hierarchy. They walked in proudly, all dressed in obviously expensive clothes. Lily and Ava wore short skirts and tops with flats, while Rosaline wore a cute blue dress and long boots. All eyes were on them, their presence alone commanding respect and intimidation. They were used to the attention, and they basked in it. Rosaline, their leader, led the team with Ava and Lily by her side. Their walk was instantly halted as they all turned to the right, their attention drawn to a girl who was wearing the exact same blue dress as Rosaline."Oh my God, girls?" Rosaline said in disgust, her voice echoing through the hall. The innocent girl shivered in fear, already knowing what wa
